This is a good alternative to coconut cream, and even cream, enhancing both savoury and dessert dishes.
Many vegan recipes include the use of Cashew Nut Cream, without the potato, but I have found that the adding of potatoes at around a 50/50 mix, adds to the consistency and flavour of the ultimate cream.

• 1 large potato, previously boiled and drained.
• 2 cups water.
Store in refrigerator or freeze in ice blocks for future use.
